Stepping stones

Posiblogging, Uncategorized

Hi, How’s things with you? Hopefully good! Flown the nest Last weekend Child 2.0 and I made our way up the country to help settle him in to his chosen university. The Ever Lovely Mrs J stayed home to keep an eye on the hounds, and because – bless her – she’d come down with a seasonal lurgi. Cue much unpacking, avoiding crowds, and then a wander around the campus to find the important spots. No, not the bar; the library, shop, and next week’s lecture halls. I’m so proud of our boy for facing his social anxiety and taking himself far away from his comfort zone. We’ve kept in touch via messaging (thank you Signal – secure, open source, […]

Take a breath

Looking Back

Hi, Friday off and it’s a birthday week as well. Get in! ☺️ The Ever Lovely Mrs J and I have been out for a stroll and stopped off for breakfast. All that, and a quick visit to the pet shop to pick up treats for our hounds. Not a bad start to the day at all 🥰 A slight issue with the vacuuming today, as the drive belt has expired, so it’s been a case of rummaging on t’interwebz for something to fit the old girl….. and the vacuum 🙄 Da dum tish 😉 There’s the slight Lego-stylee just how do I get the back of the Hoover off? thinking & faffing exercise. That and finding you have one […]

All about the ‘bers

Uncategorized

Hi, Ah, how my mood and spirits lift as the season shifts. The warm orange hue of the trees, cooler mornings, and a slight chill to the morning. How I have missed your September, October, etc. All the ‘bers 🥰 Better The DeWookification continues to deliver in terms of body acceptance and dispelling the Dysphoria Goblin. Likewise the careful application of some nail protector means my paws – until after Chams – remain slightly polished, rather than their usual dullness. As much as this is ‘yet another transgender blog’ 🙂 it’s true that there are others things in life – or perhaps more accurately, my life – that bring joy: not having to rush to be somewhere; a stroll through […]

Little things

Posiblogging

Hi, Today I had the pleasure of some self-care and a morning without anywhere to rush to. Yay for a nonworking day and a stroll through the park to my beauty appointment. Local stuff Well, no rush other than through the traffic, as Nottinghamshire seems to have all of its road upgrades at once 🙂 Not a complaint, given that traditionally, the East Midlands receives less funding on infrastructure and healthcare. However, the city has removed most of the old Broadmarsh shopping centre, and there’s a gorgeous urban park in there now. Work will start soon to remove the remaining concrete structure, and indeed the old multistorey that looms large over Maid Marion Way. The latter was our go to […]

Time, healing, and loss

Uncategorized

Hi, A later post than usual today. Well, if you were expecting one last Friday, this one is indeed, rather delayed. Chams stuff Chams coming up gave me something else to focus on. I’ve tweaked the forum plugins by moving the upcoming birthdays to the top, reporting on unused accounts, and a better photo gallery gadget. To test the latter, I found an old photo that used to be on the front page of the old website. I think it was from the early 2010s, so we’ve all changed a bit since then! A night out With the recent rain and more cloud, things have finally cooled down here. Indeed, the lawn has returned to being green rather than looking […]

The mug that I got

Uncategorized

Hi, What to write about here? Well, there’s a question that bloggers may well have, when faced with the Big White Screen. Ah, assuming they’re not writing in dark mode or Notepad 🙂 IT joke: “I’m not saying he’s old, but he remembers when Notepad didn’t have spellcheck and AI distraction” 🙃 Exam results I am hoping that things went well 🤗 Be that for you or family who were expecting A Level results. Later this month it’s GCSEs, so wishing people well on those too. As for Child 2.0, I’ll say he did very well and has what he needs to get into the university he wanted to. Dare I say, and personal pride of the student aside, good […]
